In the proposed configuration, a Taylor distribution in the slot excitation voltages and the insertion of a metallic shield allow to obtain a very low side lobe level and a significant reduction of radiating back lobe. The design has been developed using CST MICROWAVE STUDIO, a general purpose and specialist tool for the 3D electromagnetic simulation of microwave high frequency components. © 2022 URSI.enconference paper10.23919/AT-AP-RASC54737.2022.9814278https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9814278
